A man used his belt as a tourniquet after accidentally cutting his leg with a chainsaw on Thursday afternoon.
An RACQ LifeFlight spokesperson said the incident occurred when the man was chopping up logs on a property north of Dalby.
The injured man dragged himself to a quad bike then rode to his farmhouse to call for help.
LifeFlight’s Toowoomba-based Surat Gas Aeromedical Service (SGAS) Rescue helicopter responded to the call.
A LifeFlight critical care doctor and a QAS paramedic assessed the man’s injuries at the farm.
He was then airlifted in a stable condition to the Toowoomba Hospital.
